Domaine Rewa Central Otago Chardonnay 2023

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Fabulous bouquet of fruit and freshness, varietal signatures of grapefruit and white fleshed stone fruits, there’s a distinctive lees and mineral core offering complexity and power. There is an oak signature as well, distinctive with sweet scented spices. Delicious on the palate, dry, framed by fine ripe fruit flavours and some wood tannins and acidity. The combination of oak flavours, fruit and textures deliver a modern wine with a great mouthfeel and length."
Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, pale yellow gold. The nose is full, with aromas of stonefruit, citrus, vanilla and subtle roasted nuts. Medium-bodied, aromas of lemon curd and grapefruit melded with peach, apricot, delicate spice and roasted almond. The fruit shows purity, balanced ripeness and tangy acidity. Well-portioned oak details added complexity and fine-textured phenolics to the texture. This Chardonnay is elegantly expressed with balance and finesse. Match with scampi and chicken ballotine over the next 6+ years."
